Prey tells the story of Tommy, a Cherokee garage mechanic stuck on a reservation going nowhere. His life changes when an otherworldly crisis forces him to awaken spiritual powers from his long-forgotten birthright. Abducted along with his people to a menacing mothership orbiting Earth, he sets out to save himself and his girlfriend and eventually his planet.
Prey is serious, dark story, based on authentic Cherokee mythology. Themes of sacrifice, love and responsibility are explored and the story dives into emotional territory not yet explored by similar games.
In Prey, gamers enter an unpredictable world where nothing can be taken for granted. Most of the game takes place within a living ship, a giant entity that can sense and react to Tommy's presence.
Prey makes use of Joseph's Campbell's renowned story structure, "The Hero's Journey," for guiding the main character arc. Campbell's extensive work on mythological story progression was made famous when George Lucas used it for Luke Skywalker's story arc in the original Star Wars.

Awesome game! Truly great. I've no idea why it's so cheap but snap it up you'll be immersed for ages. Constantly flipping switches to turn the gravity is amazing, and walking into a little portal that's inside a box is just nuts! Constantly boggled my mind. Buy it!
An Adult Sci-Fi Story

Much like a film this game takes a little while to get going, making sure that you know who everyone is then leading you through a story of alien abduction and Indian mysticism.
Based on the Doom3 engine the game of course looks good but unlike Doom3 it's bright enough to actually see how good.
The acting is of a high standard and the plot has enough twists and turns to keep you interested. The game is certainly aimed at an adult audience not so much because of the violence but by the very dark tone set by the human suffering in the background. My only complaint is that the player character is portrayed in a more light-hearted manner than everyone else.
I found the game ran perfectly on Vista but I did make sure it was using the latest patch available from the official website.
If you like Quake, Doom or Half-life this game offers a cheap fix.
